SMU is just playing the No. 3 and No. 4 teams in the country this weekend.
No. 4 USF (a future BIG EAST opponent) Friday afternoon and No. 3 New Mexico (who beat us this spring) on Sunday. Wow.

Huge test for a young team. Is Castillo playing? But you get better by playing the tough teams.

I haven't seen or heard any timetable on Castillo's return.

Still scoreless 25 minutes in.
USF with 7 fouls so far (SMU just has 1), so I guess we know what kind of game they play.

0-0 HT.
USF with a 4-3 advantage in shots (1-0 shots on goal).
Fouls evened up (USF 7, SMU 5) and no corners in the game yet.
Sounds tight.

USF finally breaks through in the 74th minute. 1-0 USF.

Doesn't look like Castillo is playing.

Nope - and we also went down to 10 men after Andrew Morales picked up a yellow in the 57th minute and followed it up with another yellow in the 66th minute.

Gametracker still stuck at 77:01, but I imagine things are not good.

1-0 USF Final.
I look forward to details on this one. It sounds like we were every bit their equal (even starting five freshmen) until we went down a man. I wonder what happened there too.

There must be something in the water in Tulsa. New Mexico is down a man against Tulsa too (28th minute).
The game is 1-1 30 minutes in, but Tulsa scored their goal on a penalty awarded on UNM's red.

Here is the SMU release from the USF game:
http://www.smumustangs.com/sports/m-soccer/recaps/083112aaa.htmlLosing obviously stinks, but it was nice to see SMU hang with one of the top-ranked teams in the country - and to be able to match their physicality which will obviously be one of the big questions next season as we start play in the BIG EAST.
Scoring has been hard to find so far this season. Hopefully, Castillo will be back soon because that can only help things on the offensive end of the field.
New Mexico on Sunday afternoon! Go Ponies!

That was quick. Tulsa wins 2-1 with a goal at 91:42.
